E-MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

Setting Our Students Up For Success in Their Academic Endeavors and Beyond

Our e-Mentorship Program helps high school seniors from low-income families and underserved OC communities stay on track and graduate on time. Mentoring from leading local professionals and a robust virtual workshop series teaches students essential life and career skills to position them for success during school and beyond.

The e-Mentorship program is on pause for the 2025–26 calendar year and is scheduled to return in 2026–27. We look forward to welcoming both new and returning mentors when the program resumes!

 

In the meantime, we encourage you to register your interest to be among the first notified when applications open. You can also indicate your interest in other volunteer opportunities available this year.

Three Program Components

  • Career Professional Mentors: Students are paired with a mentor who is a local career professional in a field they are interested in pursuing to receive guidance and support.
  • College and Career-Readiness Workshops: Students complete a comprehensive workshop series, which covers a wide range of topics from applying for financial aid and preparing for life after high school to prioritizing mental health and finding work-life balance.
  • Scholarship or Laptop: Upon completion of the 6 month program, students receive either a new laptop or a scholarship to set them up for success as they begin the next chapter of their lives.
